Please click the arrow to view Dr. Madhavi Kandula, dermatologist and expert on skin care, address the issue of "age spots" and other skin discoloration concerns on The Balancing Act TV show. View this segment that aired July 26th at 7:00 am (ET/PT) on Lifetime Television to hear Kandula talk about prevention and treatment of age spots, and how to use skin lightening or fade creams like Nicene Brands' Porcelana, an over-the-counter product that safely uses the same active ingredient as prescription-strength formulas.

Age spots are caused by sun exposure and tend to occur most frequently in places that get the most sun, like the back of the hands, the arms, and the face. You can get them at any age, but they can be prevented, Kandula explains, by using sun-screen and avoiding over-exposure. Once they have formed an effective skin lightener will be needed to reduce their appearance.

"Many people think that skin-lighteners are only for the elderly" Kandula says âor that they will produce drastic results like those of Sammy Sosa or Michael Jackson. This segment does a great job in dispelling those misconceptions and highlights Porcelana, a safe and effective product that has been trusted by Dermatologists for 30 years.â

When used as directed, Porcelana can be effective in treating all sorts of skin discolorations, including age spots/sun spots, blemishes, and discoloration due to acne, pregnancy or oral contraceptive use. At less than $10 for a 4-6 week supply, it is much easier on the wallet than other "designer" treatments. Porcelana can be found nationally in major stores such as Walgreens, Rite Aid and Wal-Mart.
